Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by implementing an automatic control loop where the computer automatically adjusts the cotton feeding roller parameters based on real-time gram weight monitoring data, eliminating the need for manual intervention and achieving timely, consistent parameter adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback control by continuously monitoring gram weight parameters and automatically adjusting the cotton feeding roller parameters based on the monitored data, creating a closed-loop control system that responds dynamically to gram weight fluctuations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If manual intervention is used to adjust equipment parameters, then operators can respond to gram weight changes, but the adjustment is unstable due to subjective judgment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter adjustment consistencyVSAvoidadjustment subjectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical manual adjustment process with an automated computer-controlled system that objectively analyzes monitoring data and adjusts parameters according to predetermined rules, eliminating subjective judgment and ensuring consistent, reliable adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Manufacturing precision

If operators manually adjust cotton feeding parameters by observing online scanning curves, then gram weight can be controlled, but the process is laborious and not timely
